Came here for Valentine's Day and it was an absolute disaster. Service was painfully slow with zero communication. It took over 30 minutes just to get drinks, and after sitting there for more than an hour and a half with no food, we finally asked to leave. Suddenly, and conveniently, our food came out the moment we said we were done waiting. It was cold, rushed, and clearly sitting somewhere for who knows how long. No apology. No explanation. No acknowledgment of the delays at any point. Being busy is not an excuse for ignoring guests. Valentine's Day is not a surprise on the calendar, yet this place was completely unprepared. If you can't handle a holiday crowd, don't take the reservations. Wasted time, wasted money, and a ruined evening. Do not recommend. read more

The Lobster was incredibly tender and juicy, and the Steak was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back! read more

Charlotte Disliked Didn't like * 2025-12-24 All around disappointment. Meal delivered by door dash but no utensils were provided and the styrofoam packaging is not designed to be eaten on.potato was hard as a rock and tasted like it had been microwaved after being cooked earlier. The plastic fork I scrounged up actually broke. Very bland and no flavor to be found. Steank sandwich was also bland but very tough to eat too. I was very let down as I had been looking forward to a real good dinner after repeatedly eating hospital food for the last three months Please pay attention to delivery orders! Cut the sandwich in half so it's easier to handle and above all do not forget to provide utensils. And if youre going to keep your food so bland include salt and pepper at the least read more

This is what a $67 mid rare porterhouse looks like from Addisons on uber eats. It's dry and overcooked. A complete waste of money. I would be embarrassed if I owned this restaurant. I could teach your porter to cook a better steak with stuffed mushrooms with ingredients from Walmart for a fraction of the price. 0 stars. read more

What a wonderful visit. The premier steak house for the area. Thanks to Kelly, I appreciate your suggestion for the scallop appetizer. Home run. Your bourbon selections are wonderful. Keep up the great work! read more

This place has no right calling itself a stake house. I had by far the worst experience at this place. I just got done taking my wife there for our new years eve dinner. Let me start off wow. This is the first time and last time there. They had a premix drink witch I understand. 1/4 of my drink was just simple syrup. Then I asked for my stake to be cooked medium rare and it came out way closer to medium the medium rare. On top of that the kicken fell behind. And was not notified.I have Told the server about both things that where wrong and they did not do anything to fix it or then gaving me 3 little cheese cake bits. As I said this is just down right shit experience. read more

Addison's, located near ABC Nutrition, is great local find for lunch or dinner. The waitress was friendly and helpful with selections. Chef was kind to ensure that my steak was cooked to my satisfaction. Upscale menu and flavors with a casual feel. It did not disappoint!! read more

We had the worst meal we have ever had at Addison. Ordered 3 filets-2 were not filets. The Parmesan crust was not a crust, it was mushy and gross. Took it off. The loaded baked potatoes were cold and very dry as if they were leftovers from yesterday, and the vegetables were so over cooked they were not recognizable or eatable. $250.00 later. Very regrettable and won't be back. No stars read more

The BEST. We are always finding ourselves back at Addisons! The food is amazing! The owners and staff treat you with respect and kindness. We truly feel like family when we come in for dinner. This place is a great place with incredible food! read more

The food and service were exceptional! We had the best asparagus soup I've ever had. The schnitzel and spaetzl were outstanding! They took my lemon and sour cream allergy seriously. It's a small quaint store front. Loved it! I'll definitely go back. I wish I had taken pictures read more

One word. DELICIOUS!! Everything we had was outstanding. Stuffed mushrooms, gouda burgers, prime rib with garlic mashed and asparagus, lobster rangoon and stuffed shrimp. All were perfectly cooked. The service was great as well! It isn't a large restaurant and even though people were packed in on Christmas Eve, we were able to maneuver around just fine. My 100 year old grandmother was even able to move around okay. There isn't a large waiting area, so that was a little difficult to deal with while waiting for a table to open up, but it certainly wasn't a deal breaker. I'm sure we'll be back soon! read more

You get what you pay for ! My wife and I stopped there for a quick bite after a doctor visit and after looking at the menu, we almost got up and left. I just was not capable of eating a 24 ounce porterhouse and my wife did not want a steak hamburger. I ended up ordering a New York strip steak sandwich with caramelized onions And mushrooms had to cook, medium and it came on a brioche bun. My wife had a hamburger with some type of barbecue sauce, applewood bacon, and cooked to perfection. I would highly highly recommend this place if you want a nice sandwich just a nice sandwich or if you have a hardy appetite go for that 24 ounce porterhouse, be aware, but be aware you get what you pay for. read more

Always a fantastic meal with great service. Have been eating here for years and always consistent. I recommend Addison's hands down in McHenry. Kirsten, Nick, Kelly, Jon and Andrea make the evening perfect. read more

Mashed potatoes were exceptional as were the Brussels spouts. Now on to the steak. I do not recommend the sirloin. You know that feeling when you take a bite of steak and you can't seem to chew it enough to swallow it without choking. Chew chew and more chewing. Wow. Needless to say incredibly tough. Now I realize the sirloin isn't the best cut, however I am judging the restaurant based upon my experience with the prep and the cut of meat served. If you don't have the experience to serve a specific cut of meat exceptionally well why take the hit on your rep? Serve this cuts that are fool proof!! I will come back as this is the first meal that I consider a waste of money and I have eaten here several times Service was slow based upon the number of tables when we arrived. It took approximately 20 minutes to get a drink and 45 to receive our meal. read more

Been driving by this place for a while. Decided to give it a shot. Again, went during lunch not a lot of patrons were in the restaurant when we arrived. Our server was nice and friendly, and did check on us from time to time which is the highlight of the meal. Steak was under seasoned, baked potato had no flavor even with all the butter and salt you can muster. We had shared asparagus, and it was extremely oily. Both of our steaks, the meat quality, for what you pay for, was less than average quality. naturally, that's my opinion, but I realized that there was a reason I always drove by it and passed on walking in. Our total bill was $145. And for that, we could've picked up steaks from a local butcher and grilled it ourselves, and had better quality at home, accurately seasoned, then going out and coming here to spend for this. (However, if you set your expectations low...maybe you'll have a good time and a tasty meal I suppose...) Additionally, for the amount of money you pay for, you could at least have decent furniture to sit in. The booth we were in seem to have seen better days, and the table was extremely shaky and uneven. They ended up putting a couple napkins under the table to keep it from shaking, especially after our drink was spilled all over the table because of it. My recommendations: Keep going further south, and into the city or on the North Shore, for a good qualified meal if you're willing to spend a couple hundred dollars. It's just not here... definitely not going back. read more

Delicious filet, 2 side scallops(perfectly seared), grilled asparagus, baked potato, fresh side salad, a martini and amazing desserts to go. Kelly at the bar gave top notch service...watched women's soccer, the white sox and listened to some great 70s 80s music - perfect ambiance..couldn't ask for a more perfect Friday night to culminate a nonstop stressful week. Thank you for a great start to the weekend. read more

Addison's Steakhouse - Perfect cosmo... - American Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

Very disappointed this time. You only have one 65th birthday. Everyone's steak was perfect except the birthday boys filled with tendens/ligaments and grizzel. The onions cold and potatoe Luke warm. Soup ended up cold because the Crackers weren't brought to the table when it was asked for before the delivery. Very disappointed especially for what they charge.. I hope they realize what they did Please fix it We did have great food here in the past... The buyer seems not to care read more

This is not our first trip to Addison's, but definitely one of the best experiences that we've had there or at any restaurant recently! Our waiter was fantastic. Very attentive to our table and any needs that may arise. He also had a great sense of humor and joked around with us. We will definitely be returning, as the food is always delicious on top of the great service! read more

The food alone is totally worth coming here. But the staff if AWESOME!!! And that to me is main reason I choose to return to a restaurant. Good service is hard to find these days, but if you're looking for a place where you can get great service then look no further. Oh and the drinks are excellent as well!!! Thanks Andrea, Kelsey, Arisbel and Christina are awesome!!! I'm traveling for work and have eaten here every night. So happy to have found this place!!! read more

Amazing food with a great atmosphere. You do pay a premium price but you get what you pay for. Service was flawless and worth the trip.

Had a very nice meal. Excellent food quality and inventive smoked cocktails. Our waiter had many great suggestions and was highly attentive to our needs. Everyone was very friendly and helpful read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Ordered 2 items and both were absolute trash. The turkey club was literal deli meat. The lobster roll looked off (bread was soggy so I had to toast it and lobster didn't look like it was quality) but I tried it anyway. Big mistake. It is the fishiest lobster I've ever had. So disgusting. Fries and baked potato were fine. read more

First people who have always been lovely to me. I'm a loyal fan. Their soup is so filling and hearty and I have never seen a dish come out that isn't superb looking! I love the warmth in there and staff is always immaculate. They also nursed to health one of the nicest people in Lake County after he had undergone surgery and was antsy to get himself a nice meal in style. Bless this whole mall for being here! Consistently everyone respects each other. This place is a great place to gather especially in the winter. read more

We went during a snow storm, the restaurant was quite empty. The service was AWESOME, Thank you Peter! The food was extremely tasty. Lobster Rangoons, to die for. We like our steak Pittsburg Blue, and that is exactly how it came out. Side dishes very flavorful The decor is very inviting. Nice small Steakhouse with BIG flavor. We will go back . . . . read more

Best steak in the Richmond area. Service is always great. I just learned that the bar is a great option too but I haven't tried it just yet.

I would definitely recommend Addison's if you are in the McHenry area. It's a cute place with very accommodating staff. The food was good and I recommend the crab stuffed shrimp for appetizer. The drinks are also very good. Overall, a great experience. read more

Trust me when I say: DO NOT patronize this establishment. Steakhouse is in their name but it is a far cry from that! The owners have obviously thrown in the towel. My supposed USDA "Prime" top butt sirloin was definitely not prime & honestly I would be surprised if it was even choice grade! It was very tough and chewy & I could buy a much more tender steak from the grocery store. I can go to Mariano's and they will grill me a tender sirloin steak 10 out of 10 times at a quarter of the price. More observations: 1) the green beans were not edible 2) my wife's prime rib arrived to the table cold 3) water tasted funny 4) salt came out of the shaker too fast 5) super weird setup when you walk in the restaurant 6) server doesn't taste the food because according to her everything on the menu is terrific. Really? I would not go back to Addison's steakhouse even if I had a 50% off coupon. It is really that bad. Just wow!!! Shame on the owners for giving up! read more

Addison's Steakhouse - Braised short ribs just as an example were to die for. - American Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

We have been here three times now and each time we have been here the food and the service have been fantastic. Tonight we started with the seared scallops. There were two nice sized thick scallops served on a bed of rice. Scallops melted in your mouth and were seasoned and cooked perfectly. My wife and I both had the chicken and dumpling soup which was delicious. I had the 14oz prime rib which was cooked the way I asked - tender and delicious. My sides were mixed sautéed vegetables and grilled asparagus. I had these sides last time and vowed to try two different sides this go around but could not resist ordering again since I enjoyed them so much last time. Once again, spot on. I will have to meet the chef sometime and offer my compliments My wife had the chicken and artichoke which she was delicious. I need to comment on the dinner rolls. They are served warm and with a butter that is to die for. The service and food have been consistently 5 star. Kelly was our server tonight and was excellent. If you are fortunate enough to have Allison or Kelly as your server and bartender you are in for a treat. They are professionals. Kelley works magic when making cocktails and Allison does a wonderful job of making you feel comfortable and welcome. All in all a must for fine dining! read more

Gin cocktail was flavorful, but seemingly light on the gin, extra heavy on the ice, and not worth $15. Better gin cocktails down the road at Jude's. The burger was flavorful, but it was a thinner burger than I anticipated & it arrived well done; the waitress never asked how I wanted the burger cooked, and before it crossed my mind, it was already served. I had a much better burger earlier this week at DC Cobbs. Perhaps I had higher expectations being a steakhouse with its own blended meats and its own homemade infused gin. read more

Addison's Steakhouse - Receipt - American Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

We arrived at Addison's strip center location less that enthusiastic seeing the building from the outside, entering the restaurant did little to instill encouragement. The decor is little more than that of a two star sports bar, certainly nothing supporting a $50 plus entree price dining establishment. If ambiance of your surroundings means anything to your dining experience do not even consider dining at Addison's. OK, so I am not impressed with the surrounding but what about the food? My wife ordered a filet which was good sized yet somewhat flavorless, also served rare despite being ordered medium rare - the price was $48. Her onion straws were served cold and had to be sent back along with her up-charged steak chili salad replacement which was also cold. I ordered a seafood scallop and shrimp pasta dish which was tasty, but the only iseafood consequence included two medium sized shrimp, one large scallop. A bit ridiculous for a price of $38.00. My caesar salad was good, however our meals arrived early while we were still eating our salad leaving us to scramble to find room on our table for entree and salad plate - a serious pet peev of mine. Oh, did I mention that there was no bread offered with out meal! Finally, the menu online has not been updated to reflect significantly increased price so please beware!! f you are going to spend nearly $200.00 for dinner, drinks and tip you have so many much better options to consider, Addison's was a significant disappointment. read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant! One of the best fillets I have ever had! Ordered it medium rare with the garlic butter topping! Cooked perfectly. The wedge salad may be the best side salad I have ever had! Service was fantastic! I actually ate there for the first time yesterday for a dinner meeting and it was so good I went back tonight with a friend and ordered the exact same thing! Best steak I have had in a very long time! And lastly, the ambiance was nice but relaxed, which is perfect for me! I like to have a great experience in a nice place but don't want to feel like I have to go home and change into a nicer wardrobe to do so! Casual to business causal attire, with a gourmet food experience! I love it! read more

The most expensive meal I have ever had & it was a total waste of money!! 2 of us, my husband & I = $250.00!!!!! The food was subpar at best!! We had steak oscar & it was unimpressive, and the filet mignon was tasteless. We also had the calamari for an appetizer, what a RIP OFF! There were about 10 small rings of frozen rubbery calamari for like $15. $18? The atmosphere is a joke! They're trying to be a high-end steakhouse & it looks like a bar/pub inside. Very noisy & no "ambiance". The 2 Margarita's we had were excellent at $12. ea, which were the best part of the whole dining experience. I do not recommend at all! For those prices go to a 'REAL" fine dining steak house. read more
